I've been with my present girlfriend for a few months now. She is my first female partner. I've noticed that the day following sex I get itchy bumps on the inside of my thighs as well as on the pubic bone area. They itch and swell, and sometimes pus comes out of them (gross, I know...) which makes me pretty sure that they're pimples. I've never experienced this before. I wonder if it is from the sweat/bodily fluids while we grind? Is there any way to prevent this from happening and has this happened to anyone else? Also, I do shower almost immediately after sex but that doesn't seem to prevent it.
Do you use lube ? You might switch to an organic one. Does she use any cream or perfume you might be allergic against ?
We don't use any lube, it's wet enough down there that we don't have to :badgrin: But she has gotten little pimples on her thighs. Not sure about the lotion though. It just seems odd that vaginal fluid alone would cause that?
I do wonder if it's hair...we both shave completely but it's not always perfectly smooth and the stubble can be a little irritating. Could that be causing ingrown hairs or something?
Do you think it might be laundry detergent ? The skin might be very soft and easily irritable, from sheets or clothing... you might think about using skin nourishing products after bathing... I like jojoba or corn oil products... use it only externally, not vaginally... Could you do something for your helath in general, like eating more fruit (I'd go with organic here)? Yes, of course... the skin is very soft when moistened... you might have the hair grown a little bit, so that its not stubble...
I blame hair then It can totally cause that. And it would explain why you have these in those very specific areas. Makes a lot of sense. You can still ask your doctor if you want to, but I really think it's hair hun. I would say to practice tribbing only when you're both either perfectly smooth or when the hair is long enough not to irritate your skin. You can "test" it by running your fingertips on the zone. That way you shouldn't have any problem. But I would avoid tribbing until your current bumps are completely gone. Then, have fun.
